About Iris Luna

Hi there, I’m Iris Luna, LLMSW, and I’m passionate about walking alongside kids, teens, and families as they navigate life’s hardest seasons. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, grief, or those big life transitions that shake up everything, my goal is to create a space where you and your family feel safe, seen, and supported.

I believe that every person has unique strengths, and therapy should be a place where those strengths are uncovered and built upon. My approach is trauma-informed and rooted in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused CBT. But I also know therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—sometimes that means weaving in play therapy, mindfulness, art, or holistic practices that align with your values and culture.

I specialize in supporting:

Children & Teens. From behavior challenges and anxiety to navigating school stress and self-esteem struggles, I provide a safe space for kids and teens to express themselves and grow.

Families. Parenting isn’t easy—and it’s even harder when your child is hurting. I work with caregivers and families to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and empower everyone to heal together.

Multicultural & Diverse Backgrounds. I am especially passionate about working with multicultural families and providing culturally responsive care that honors your lived experiences, traditions, and identity.

Some of the areas I focus on include: adjustment disorders, anger management, depression, mood and panic disorders, grief and loss, stress management, and trauma recovery. Whether it’s helping a child through behavioral struggles, guiding a teen through anxiety, or supporting a parent navigating tough decisions, I’m here to walk that journey with you.

What you can expect from working with me:

Compassion & Warmth. A safe, judgment-free environment where you can bring your whole self.

Culturally Responsive Care. Therapy that respects and integrates your identity, values, and background.

Creativity & Flexibility. Tools like art therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to help you find what works best for you.

Empowerment. Practical skills and insights you can carry into daily life, helping you and your family feel more confident and connected.

I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. But therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating—it can be a hopeful step toward healing, growth, and greater peace of mind.

At Ellie Mental Health in Novi and West Bloomfield, our goal is to make therapy approachable, affirming, and tailored to your needs. If you’re looking for support for your child, your family, or yourself, I’d be honored to walk with you every step of the way.
